Login refused with Python 2.7 #64

Closed pe-st closed 3 years ago

pe-st commented 3 years ago

When trying to understand https://github.com/pe-st/garmin-connect-export/issues/60 I noticed that the exact same login request works with Python 3.x (3.9 in my case) and fails with Python 2.7.18

With Python 2.7.18 the request for a login ticket fails with HTTP status 403 (forbidden).

Somewhere between 2021-05-09 (of when I have a log of a successful request) and 2021-05-27 (issue #60 created) something must have changed on Garmin's servers.

I'm not an expert and haven't found so far what exactly is different between HTTP requests from Python 2.7 and Python 3.x

Python 2 was sunsetted on Jan 1 2020 and is no longer supported - https://www.python.org/doc/sunset-python-2/

I removed Python 2 support in my fork years ago - https://github.com/moderation/garmin-connect-export

Do you have enough users who can't or work upgrade to Python 3 to justify the troubleshooting time and support?

Version 3.2.0 now explicitly denies working with Python 2.x

If you're impacted by this change (no possibility to upgrade to Python 3.x) I'm afraid you'll have to solve/work around this issue yourself. I neither have the time nor the knowledge to make the script work again with Python 3.x and as @moderation mentioned Python 2.7 hasn't officially been supported any more for more than 18 months.
